A kids overall development requires healthy eating and
proper caring.We all are very familiar with the nutritional requirement of a child.But caring as we do traditionally in
India,like massaging is very important for the mental and physical well being of a kid.

Massaging with time-tested oil such as dabur lal tail has been found to help immensely in weight gain
and increasing height of a kid.Traditional ayurvedic knowledge shows us the importance of massaging
with oil.It is said that massaging with oil will have a lifelong effect on the
body .In todays polluted environment,with skin infections and
allergies, oil massage, during early life is the only long term solution.

Researches have shown
that clinically proven massage oil like
dabur lal tail helps kids grow 2 times faster.This oil consists of sesame
oil,ratanjyot,shankha pushpi,camphor and urad.These all have beneficial
properties.Sesame oil helps in growth,ratanjyoti against skin infection,others
help in blood circulation,nourishing of muscles and bones.

The chances of heart attack and other lifestyle diseases are
decreased with the human touch given in the early stages of a persons life.When
a child is well massaged and cared,he will surely grow up to be a healthy and
positive human being.Traditional knowledge if used with scientific standards
can help in improving the quality of life of our youngones.

It is not so difficult to find good Indian food in US,although they are pricey.In Los Angeles we went to Lal Mirch,owned by a bangladeshi.The food was awsome and we very much enjoyed eating at this place.

The world over and in US a majority of the population is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish and flax seed oil and are important for the development and maintenance of brain function.
It is better to get omega-3 fatty acids from foods such as fish rather than supplements. Fish high in DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids are anchovies,bluefish,herring,mackerel,salmon (wild has more omega-3s than farmed),sardines,sturgeon,lake trout,tuna.Eating these fish two to three times a week is recommended by many experts.
The following is a list of Good food sources of ALA -- which is converted into omega-3 fatty acids in the body :walnuts,flax and flaxseed oil,canola oil,olive oil,soybean oil.
While foods containing omega-3 fatty acids have health benefits,but oils and nuts can be high in calories eating them in moderation is advised.Some study recently implicates Omega-3 supplements may cause prostrate cancer.

My husband regularly visits Jabalpur for official work.His favourite for non veg food is Riyaz Hotel in badi omti.Few days back,I had the opportunity to visit the place.
Riyaz is a very old hotel,with not so proper arrangement for family sitting.But the food is awesome and reasonably priced.
Bhuna Gosht is ultimate.The quality of mutton and spices used here makes bhuna gosht delicious .The gravy or shorba is cooked slowly that it becomes thick and nicely coated to the meat.Bhuna gosht involves slow cooking for longer time to give richness and taste to the dish. You can eat it with roomali or tandori roti.
Mutton and chicken biryani are the other favourites at this hotel.This hotel is famous for mutton biryani.
Use of herbs ,spices and again the mutton quality makes biryani a must eat here.
Also you can have paya for breakfast.Paya is available till afternoon.Riyaz also makes good chicken kadi kebab and chicken fry.
For the lovers of non veg food, When in Jabalpur a visit to Riyaz hotel should not be avoided.
